Congressional Directory: About
The
Congressional Directory is the official directory of the U.S. Congress,
prepared by the Joint Committee on Printing (JCP). It presents:
- Short biographies of each member of the Senate and House, listed by
state or district.
- Committee memberships, terms of service, administrative assistants
and/or secretaries, and room and telephone numbers for Members of Congress.
- Lists officials of the courts, military establishments, and other
Federal departments and agencies, including D.C. government officials,
governors of states and territories, foreign diplomats, and members
of the press, radio, and television galleries.
According to the U.S. Code (44USC721), the Congressional Directory is
made available during the first session of each new Congress. Subsequent
to delivery of the printed 1997-1998 Congressional Directory, the JCP
established the practice of producing periodic online interim issues to
ensure the public's economical access to current Congressional information.
The frequency of these online revisions will be determined by the volume
of changes submitted for incorporation. No printed counterpart will exist
for these online publication revisions.
GPO Access contains directories for the 104th (1995-96) Congress
forward, as well all Interim editions (online-only revisions) for the
105th Congress forward. Documents are available as ASCII text and Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
